Oh, BTW, I also know this problem is probably related to YCbCr downsampling. Taking test file is quad-jpeg, you all know that one... dumps like this

This means that the YCbCrSubSampling tags are default: 2 and 2. I don't understand the consequences of this completely. Does libtiff request downsampled data from libjpeg? Can libjpeg return this data without converting? (My purpose is to get the data that needs the least converting.) LibTiff seems to need alloc_sarry from within a function alloc_downsampled_buffers. That seems to indicate that the problem I'm having is related to this. Any thoughts?
